There's a new challenge in the wind over at John's Grasping For the Wind blog!

He is challenging participants to pick 5 books they believe will challenge their thinking about any topic. Tackle a political or religious viewpoint, a stance on a social issue, and notions about a color of skin, a creed, or an “ism”. Or challenge your notions about science, the world, or economics. John says: "You might want to read a book about something you already agree with that presents a whole new take on it. Anything that YOU believe is outside your normal viewpoint or that will make you rethink your preconceptions or assumptions is fair game."

John has set up a Mr. Linky for sign ups. And he's not opposed to overlapping reads with other challenges. Why don't you check it out??!?
